It looks 100% perfect the way it is. It adds character. I hate people that completely restore and modernize these old cars...then thy all look the same.
It's like the rat rods...they do not restore anything on them. Just new wheels, and a tuneup for most of them. Everything stays original. The look of "weathering" is more beautiful to me than shiny candy paint.
Well it may look like crap on this recent video you show. . But I "see" so much potential that can be done to make her beautiful again:). You are luck to be owning her. . But I will get a 68' Charger myself. I am glad that you are restoring her and not letting her rot. Good luck.
in front of me where i live theres a buick gsx (yellow fading) is there all hidden with the weeds and bushes but im scared to ask them if there selling it...bc there scary rednecks and im hispanic...i dont want then to think im stealing or something they might shoot me...but fuck it! ima go get that buick gsx no matter what!
@HoustonRocket281 its what people usually do to the GSX im not being racist if i was being racist i would call you a wetback, beaner, spic and shit like that but im not ive seen more white people do that shit to them not the big rim part though thats blacks mainly. and also im half mexican its hard to be racist against your own kind
Gna take a lot of cash, dont give up, stick to it and when you dont have any money be patient, dont expect perfection only excellence and it will help keep you moving forward, Thumbs up n keep posting even the small things, we are not all millionaires and know it takes time!!!
@REDNECKDUKEBOY Very nice, Looks solid. Keep up the good work bro! You`re saving her and not letting it rust away in a field or a garage so thats good! Good luck!
my opinion is that you should keep it as a 68'. If you convert it into a 69' then it isnt going to be worth as much. there are already too many 68's that have been converted and having an old 68 would be pretty cool
W/E you do dont turn it into a genral lee just give it sum time and a good dark color and ull be turning heads bro. paint it black to make sure you turn all the heads hahaha good luck..
The best thing you can do is *completely* disassemble it, bag and tag everything, then send it out to get media-blasted. I got mine done, top to bottom for only 500 bucks. Then make sure you cover it in some nice self-etching primer ASAP. There is a product called 'Veri-Prime' that works awesome.
Well even sand the bitch down to the bare metal...put some dam paint on it so it dont look like shit!!! Guys like you with these cars and leave them like this...god it makes me so angry...lol...only because I would give up the wife and kids for a 68 or 69 Charger!! lol
Thats what Im doing, it looked like shit when we first started work on it, the guy we bought it from had it in the woods behind his house, before he got it it was left down by a river and was underwater during Hurricane floyd back in "99, so as you can tell the car was not taken car of, it is in terrible shape, under the rear end the trunk and about 3 foot of the chassis are rotted away
Looks good for a clunker :D. When you make it a General Lee, see if you can talk to Mopar and order '69 Rear Taillights and a grill, Chrysler still sells them.
Can't wait to see when it's done! Keep up the good work!

@REDNECKDUKEBOY what's in the second lid? oh and 2 things that are going to limit you to use your car are:
1. That car uses a lot of gas
2. Gas prices are outrageous these days

The second lid was the one that was on it but it was rusted to bad so i used one that came on my parts car.
and gas prices are the reasons it'll be my weekend car, lol

Gas prices?? Come to Europe if you want to talk about gas prices. :)
US: 1 gallon regular = $ 3.70
EU: 1 gallon regular = $ 8.10
Just build the car for all of us that cannot get near them and drive it with a smile.
